Main Ingredients- 2/3 cup cooked rice (warm)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 handful fresh sprouts
Seasoning- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- Sesame seeds (to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- Sesame seeds (to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your ingredients. Thinly slice the medium onion after peeling it. Mince or thinly slice the garlic clove; this will release its aromatic oils when cooked.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add a small amount of cooking oil. Add the sliced garlic and sauté gently until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this can make it bitter. The goal is to infuse the oil with a nutty aroma.
Step 3
Once the garlic is fragrant and golden, add the sliced onions to the pan. Stir-fry the onions until they become translucent and tender, releasing their natural sweetness. Cooking them over medium heat will ensure they soften nicely without burning.
Step 4
When the onions are well sautéed and have softened, add the gochugaru and soy sauce to the pan. Stir-fry everything together quickly over medium heat for another minute, allowing the spices to toast slightly and the sauce to coat the onions evenly. This step deepens the flavor.
Step 5
Turn off the heat. Drizzle in the sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds and a pinch of black pepper. Gently toss everything together to combine. The residual heat will meld the flavors beautifully, creating a delicious sautéed onion topping.
Step 6
To assemble, place the warm cooked rice in a serving bowl. Top generously with the fresh, crisp sprouts. Finally, spoon the flavorful sautéed onions over the sprouts. Your simple yet delicious Sprout Onion Rice Bowl is now ready to be enjoyed!
